Konkretnie dowalone cynamonem, co też niestety mocno uwytrwania odczucie. Syrop klonowy obecny, trochę kawa. Beczki prawie brak. Grzejący finisz. Średniawka i zawód.

Rather disappointed with this. Bourbon overpowers any of the stout flavors, and the bourbon isn’t even that good.

Honestly, there’s just way too much cinnamon going on here. It significantly overwhelms the other flavors.

Dark and boozy. Bitter, rye whiskey, cinnamon and vanilla. Lingering bitter finish.

Described accurately as to what’s on the label. It’s a bit sweet for me though. Not a bad beer, but I wouldn’t get it

For $7.50, not worth it, tastes like Christmas pinecones

Probably my least favorite KBS variety. The adjuncts don't work together well. Glad I tried it but I will never drink it again.

This was one of the worst of the series I’ve had. Just fell flat in the flavor department for me. Very muted. For a BB stout, it was good; it’s just they have much more enjoyable KBS ones.

Was hoping for the cinnamon and vanilla to push thru the coffee and barrel-age.

Tastes hot. To be fair, 12%ABV & it doesn’t taste THAT hot, but hot nonetheless, especially by Founder’s stout standards. Only semi-sweet, which I like, the vanilla isn’t cloying, & the cinnamon isn’t overpowering. Grows as it goes, but miles from CBS.

Rich and thick, with a cinnamon beginning that is backed up with a good amount of vanilla, before finishing off with bitter dark chocolate.

Lovely fullness, with cacao, bitter chocolate, and vanilla. The problem is, the cinnamon is overpowering, erasing any semblance of balance.

Deep and still very rich, although I feel like the cinnamon has faded a bit... however the bitter, dark chocolate taste is still balanced well with the sweet vanilla.

Tried it a week ago and didn’t get the expected flavor profile, nor my expectations of Founders. So I didn't check in. Drank it again tonight, with similar results. Nose of cinnamon and cacao are apparent. Unfortunately the taste just isn't there.

So I'm not gonna lie, this was a little underwhelming. Seemed light , not thick like most Founders. The Cinnamon was spot on but Vanilla and Cocoa were less than stellar. Wish it was better but gotta be honest.
